pirated all this for 0$ even though i can afford to pay for it

Wow. Steam is amazing.

It is, normally you'd get one game for that price

GTA, GTA2, and Wild Metal (???) are all free. The rest are between $8 and $20 on Steam. Go ahead and try to find them in stores... I've been wanting to get GTA3 again for months. I've tried to find it and I couldn't. This is really a pretty sweet deal. In store I'd expect to pay $20-30 for each of the 7.

I wonder if I'll prefer GTA:SA on PC or PlayStation... With that said, I could swear I've seen new things happening and heard new pedestrian comments while playing GTA:SA on my PlayStation 3...

• Maybe it has enough power to load the media that the PlayStation 2 couldn't;

• Maybe it's a bug that doesn't have an affect when running on the PlayStation 3;

• Maybe I'm crazy...

_{It's been a while since I've played so it's also possible that I just forgot...}

It sounds like that was actually a mission pack (expansion pack) for the original GTA.

I know it's was an expansion pack I own it along with the original GTA (and GTA2).

I just don't understand why they give away GTA and not it's expansion packs.

I played GTA3 on a PC and a PS2, and unless they changed the control scheme for GTA:SA PS3 from the GTA3 PS2 one, (which would essentially mean "replaced the controller with a mouse"), the PC version should be much better.
Then again, I've hated every FPS on any console I've tried*, it's just uncomfortable to aim without a mouse.
*-Which is only PS2 and XBOX. But presumably only the Wii features any significant difference in controller to be considered different for this purpose.

I wondered the same thing myself when I saw the list of games here.
Though I have a vague memory of it being a free download from some site (ie I was bored some years ago and found a free download for it, and played it for a while, but it was long enough ago to forget almost everything about*. I'm pretty sure it was a legal download though [like GTA2 is available for free])
*-Which doesn't say much, I have the memory capabilities of a ceramic bowl.

If you don't mind the horrible horrible torture that is "aiming with a playstation controller", then you'd probably like the PS version better, I guess. The driving and camera controls are a bit uncomfortable on a PC (though I got used to those very fast [unlike the horrible horrible torture that is "aiming with a playstation controller" {do you see a pattern? }]), since the camera is a bit unruly if you ever decide to move it while driving (which I rarely do), and the driving controls are a bit too sensitive until you get used to them. (in GTA:SA, of course. I can't predict what GTA4 will be like )

Maybe you should decide that "driving is better with a controller and shooting is better with a mouse, therefore I will use both simultaneously"

Ooh! How about getting one of those force-feedback driving wheels and pedals, that's smart use of your money

Really ? Take your pad, give me a mouse, and let's have an unreal tournament time !

Steering with the analog stick is way easier. And walking. And cycling. And anything else. But when it comes to aiming. Sheeesh! I hate aiming in the PS2. But a lot of games, no, most of the games that are for PS2 don't need aiming and the dualshock is perfect for movement.

I've used one. You're not fooling me. We need to find a game that allows online play across platforms. Give me a PlayStation controller and you a Wiimote and we'll see who owns who.
